TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
We are requestlng a varlance ln the setback dlstance In order to
construct a garage to e11mlnate the outdoor and street parklng of
our vehlc1es and enhance the deslrabl11ty of our property for
potentla1 future resale
The varlance lS belng requested because the physlca1 COndltlOn of our
lot does not conform wlth ordlnance for the standard placement of a
garage. We have a septlc tank located ln the southwest aspect of our
lot and a dralnage fle1d runs ln an east-west fashlon toward the
street The house was orlglna11y bUl1t to conform wlth the eX1Stlng
dlmenSlons of the lot and, therefore, addltlons to the eXlstlng home
cannot be accomp11shed wlthout encroachlng upon the property 11ne
along the northwest boundary of the lot
All other propertles wlthln the cul-de-sac have garage space aval1ab1e
as thelr lot descrlptlons conformed wlth the abl11ty to place a garage
adJacent to thelr homes
We do not be11eve we are ln the posltlon to move our draln fle1d and
septlc fle1d In a more westerly dlrectlon that potentla11y could pro-
vlde us wlth the necessary land along our eastern perl meter to
construct thlS garage ln questlon We base our oplnlon on the fact
that that would then cause our draln fle1d to run lnto the street ln
order to meet code wlth the length of the draln 11nes and the leach
11ne Other propertles wlthln the cul-de-sac must have some system ln
eXlstence as thelr setbacks are such that the 70 foot leach 11ne must
elther be placed ln a fashlon that lt runs lnto the street or along
thelr northern perlmeters and then lS adJacent to the rlver edge
By grantlng the varlance to move our garage closer to the street we do
not feel that thlS would lnterfere wlth the eXlstence of our draln
fle1d and, therefore, not be a hazard elther to pub11c safety or to
the a1teratlon of other propertles wlthln the cul-de-sac.
